Thank you for all your photos, sancakil70. The Ottomans had some lovely jewellery, the brooch shown in post #1 is amazing! I'm also very fond of Princess Ayse's tiara in post #10. Do you know where the jewels are kept now? Are they all still in the possession of the Ottoman Imperial Family or do they belong to museums/have been sold?

P.S = I've been reading your posts in the general thread about the Ottoman Imperial Family, and have enjoyed doing so. :flowers: I'm going to be looking them up now and finding out more about them.

The Jewels from Post 1 are in the Museum in Turkey Topkapi palace
the other jewels from the past are mostley sold, when the imperial family exiled. The family was very poor after the exile.
the jewels from princess Ayse is by her own. I don`t know if they real, but the husband of princess Ayse is a very famous british businesman Nicholas Sutton. I think they real.
